What is wrong with distributing > ldefs-boot.el? What is wrong with installing ldefs-boot.el? For installation purposes ldefs-boot.el is redundant. (In a distribution tarball it's also exactly the same as loaddefs.el.) But that's not really a problem. > Unless there is some specific reason it must be excluded, > I would rather include it. It is not large. Agreed. J=E9r=F4me Marant pointed out that including ldefs-boot.el allows a "make maintainer-clean" and then a ".configure" plus "make bootstrap" on an unpacked distribution tarball. I think that's a nice feature. Lute.
